This is intended to provide an aide memoire to those who are about to read The Trials of Empire (either as an ARC or next February when it is released--or whenever, really) and who have forgotten bits of / all of the plot of The Tyranny of Faith. Like the plot summary for The Justice of Kings (which can be found here) it is fairly comprehensive, but necessarily omits a lot of detail and nuance.
OBVIOUSLY MASSIVE SPOILERS. This summary contains everything, including how the book ends. If you have not read The Tyranny of Faith, and plan to, this post will COMPLETELY RUIN IT FOR YOU.
I can't make it any clearer than that.
HERE BE SPOILERS
